Weld Evaluation Process
Set up the model for weld evaluation.
- Weld Lines
  Use the Mark Welds tool to detect, create, edit, and delete weld lines.
- Screening
  Review the screening process in HyperLife Weld Certification
- Specify a Certification Regulation
  Use the Specifications tool to assign a weld specification.
- Define Weld Evaluation Point Properties
  Use the Points tool to define the properties of the weld lines considered in the evaluation.
- Manage Materials for Unwelded Parts
  Use the Material tool to assign materials and other unwelded certification parameters to the model's components/parts/sets.
- Load Maps
  Use the Load Map tool to create multiple channels (load histories) which are then paired with subcases/loadsteps to create the fatigue events.
- Evaluate
  Use the Run Analysis tool to run HyperLife Weld Certification.
  - Export Batch Run
    Use the Batch Input file to run HyperLife Weld Certification in batch.
- Visualize Results
  Use the Evaluate tool explore the results of the run.

Input Files

Input files are defined within the following tags:

<InputFiles>
    <ModelFile>{Sample_file_name}</ModelFile>
    <ResultFile>{Sample_file_name}</ResultFile>
</InputFiles>

This should contain the child elements Model File and Result File.

The Model file is the HM session file of the Weld Certification workflow containing the detected weld information and the table information of the regulation assigned (i.e., the weld properties).

Model File: The input model file; <ModelFile>C:\Users\<>\Documents\Fatigue\WeldRunHistory\SampleFolder\SampleModel.hm </ModelFile>
Result File: Input results file; <ResultFile>D:\SampleFolder\SampleModel.h3d </ResultFile>
